I use Spay bottle nozzle in a bottle of hydrogen peroxide. Spray directly on baked on bugs. Softens up the bugs and they just wipe away with a microfiber cloth.

I'm found of the lemon pledge... usually buy a small one when I arrive at events to spiffy up the ryde.

I use Cycle Care products. There #33 is a spray on cleaner for windshield, paint and chrome. I also keep a damp microfiber cloth in a zip lock bag. Works great on the road to get bugs off the windshield.

I've been using this stuff on all my bikes for as far back as I can remember. It's the best in the world for cleaning any bike, hands down.
No, you don't need to throttle down when downshifting.

I've been using this for many years, from the aviation community.
Does take a little elbow work to polish out, pledge is cheaper.

I have been using a mixture of 50% distilled water and 50% hydrogen peroxide for quite some time.

Thanks Don

First question: If you should need to manually downshift-Do you back off on the throttle?
Question #2 -What cleaners do you use on the Spyder body and the windshield.
Some of the products that the shops recommend just seem to be ridiculously expensive to me.????
Thanks for your help.
Hope everyone has a great weekend.

I find that backing off the throttle a "tad" makes for a more smooth ride. As far as cleaners, I'm a new rider and looking forward to seeing the responses too. Thanks, Annamarie

I avoid having to sneak past the motel front desk with their room towls by simply asking if they have any old towels available to clean the bugs off my windscreen and bike. They've never failed to provide them along with a smile and a "thanks for asking". I have 2014 RT Se6 Ltd, platinum satin, so no wax. However, i do get the bugs off with towel soaked in warm to hot water then rinse. They just slide off. Gonna try the dryer sheet thing though.
